| Description: |
Study regionThis study deals with the isotopic composition of monsoon precipitation in Southern Oman, specifically in the Salalah coastal plain and the adjacent Dhofar Mountains.Study focusMonsoon variability on the southern Arabian Peninsula has been described based on the oxygen isotope composition of various terrestrial archives, often on the millennial scale. However, the factors influencing the spatio-temporal variability of the oxygen isotope composition of today's monsoon precipitation have not yet been described for this region. Here, we present stable isotope ratios of oxygen and hydrogen for the Indian Summer Monsoon in the greater Salalah area.New hydrological insights for the regionThe precipitation amount-weighted mean isotope values along an elevation transect show lighter signatures at higher elevation, but generally low deuterium excess values (d |
